ALMATY. March 7. KAZINFORM /Yelena Ilyinskaya/ ?President Nursultan Nazarbayev?s Message is of paramount importance in the current crisis conditions. It became an important and powerful message for unification in overcoming the consequences of the current crisis and countering new challenges. The Head of the State expressed confidence Kazakhstan would withdraw from the crisis with worth and dignity?, senior teacher of the Ablay Khan Kazakh University of International Relations and World Languages, Member of the People?s Assembly of Kazakhstan Gulnara Annakuliyeva considers, Kazinform reports.
?The devaluation of the tenge, modernization of economy, support of small and medium businesses are the most crucial anti-crisis measures. But to my mind, the most important thing in the Address is preservation of state social guarantees - pensions, wages, benefits, scholarships etc. Alongside the President stressed necessity of saving means; the state will allot certain funds for repair and reconstruction of the existing schools and hospitals instead of construction of new ones by ?100 schools, 100 hospitals? state program. I think it is a correct and rational solution of the problem. In addition, I appreciate the Government?s efforts on provision of new jobs to prevent rise of unemployment?, G. Annakuliyeva said.
?Special attention was given to the People?s Assembly of Kazakhstan, the largest public organization in the country. The Head of the State highlighted its decisive role in ensuring inter-ethnic harmony in the society and this imposes more responsibility on the Assembly. Indeed, all citizens of Kazakhstan enjoy equal rights, feel dependence on each other. Therefore, they should unite their efforts and help each other to overcome the difficult period?, the Member of the Assembly pointed out.
